Review from Stuart A (Father of Child) published on 6 September 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am very pleased with the care my children have received at Springfields. They have made friends, bonded with the staff and (almost always) are very happy to attend nursery. Both our children have developed well socially and I'm confident that my eldest is well prepared to move on to school in September.
Most importantly, my children are happy and safe at Springfields and I'm happy that we chose the nursery we did.

We have experienced Springfields for the past five years and have nothing but positives to say.
All the staff we have been in contact with have been professional and caring towards our children.
Our children have loved their nursery experience and been sad to leave. We really appreciate all your hard
work.

My daughter has been made to feel so welcome at Springfields. All the team have been really helpful and supportive in settling her in and have always kept me in the know with what's going on.
I love the fact that they offer fun party afternoons which gives me and dad an opportunity to see what my daughter
gets up to.
Thank you team.

Springfield is excellent from start to finish. All the staff are highly qualified. The rooms are stocked with educational toys. It's lovely to see that staff stay within the nursery, with having a 5-year gap there are still lots of familiar faces. Management is very approachable and everyone is happy
in their work. 10/10 for me.

I feel my son has really come on at nursery, his development is growing so much. Nursery staff and his key person realise where help in needed such as his speech and therefore put things in place. Lovely staff all around.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.769)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.769) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Springfields Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.9 out of 5 from 6 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.917 for Bright Horizons Springfields Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (67 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.917
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 3.852 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Springfields Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 6 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 = 3.6
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 119 number of registered child places is 23.8. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 23.8 = 0.252
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
